The Art of Mastery by Peter Ralston
In this detailed guide to what it takes to master something, Ralston examines the powerful dynamics behind the art of mastery.
“Ralston provides both a real definition of mastery and a very detailed process to achieve itThe book highlights a path to mastery that applies to any chosen field. It provides specific principles and practices and points out potential pitfalls along the way. It is both encouraging and rigorous. There are no participation trophies in this book. One of its best features is guidance on how to benefit from the inevitable mistakes and failures along the path to mastering any activity. If you spend time and effort with this book, you will greatly benefit from the investment.” * Bob Noha, Aikido 6th dan and chief instructor at Aikido of Petaluma *
“I so highly value the years I studied with Peter. In our work together, he immediately made me a better fighter and markedly so. Yet more importantly, he brought something else out: an internal energy, a state of being indescribable or undefinable, a power that I feel in every aspect of my life. He’s not only a master in his art but a master teacher. That generous creative flow of universal light that he has allowed and brought forth in his own experience sets fire to everyone who studies with him.” * Richard Moon, Aikido sensei/instructor 6th dan, facilitator in international peace-building, executi *
